Dark Earth (Walkthrough)
After waking up, take the meat near the bed, the uniform and the sword. (Tip: here is the first place where you can save your game)
Speak with Kalhi, then go to the door. Someone is knocking; it's Zed.
Outside you can follow Zed upstairs for training (do it; it’s a good way for prepare yourself for all the battles).
Go to the door where the soldier is and speak to him. He will make you enter and you will first meet Dhorkan. Get the orders and go out, then downstairs.
There you can speak with 2 soldiers. Go on, and near the end of the hall you will find another place to save your game.
Outside, turn left. You will see your father and Lory speak, then enter the building (it’s the temple) and speak with Jedar. Go on the other side of the door (your guard place), and after some moments you will hear some noise inside the room. It’s time for your first fight, so press C and kill the scum.
Be quick or be dead. Kill the guardian, and then speak with Thanandar. Take the axe of the dead guardian and go out.
Enter the door behind. There is Rylsadhar, Arkhan's father. Speak with him; he will tell you about the crypt that Thanandar has mentioned.
Afterward, Kalhi will enter. Speak with her.
Look under the bed, take the paper and examine it. (Notice the lock on the wall, but that’s another story.) Look on the shelves and take the flask.
Go out and upstairs, listen to the dialogue, enter the temple and go into the same room where you had the fight. (Notice that near the door on the left is a save game platform.) Go upstairs and enter the second door on the left.
Speak with the archivist, then look at the book. Near it there is a mechanism. Use the paper you find in Rylsadhar's room on it, then take the key. Near the door, take a book.
Go outside, downstairs and out into the main hall.
Go round the big telescope and up the small stairs, use the key, then go down and move the lever. (Small movie here.)
Go inside the open room and look at the bottom of the crystal. Something is missing.
Go outside the temple and into the Guardian of Fire building. Save the game when you enter.
Speak with Garu and Teskan, then go upstairs. Kill Muldar (the guard in front of Dhorkan's door), then enter and speak with Dhorkan.
Go outside and on the other side of the hall.
Search around the case on this floor, and you will find the key that unlocks most of the locked keys.
Go outside and on the right. Open the door and go down to the prison (save the game if you can). Kill the guard, examine the guard and use the key on the right door. Now you can free Kalhi (she will now follow you). Go upstairs, open the door and go in the main hall, then downstairs. Kill the guard (save game) and go out of the building.
Kalhi will attract the guard near the elevator, then it’s your turn. You must kill him, but it’s not easy because the guard has a gun.
When you’re down, follow Kalhi to Danrys and speak to him. Take the small axe on the table.
Go out and speak with the man in the square, then on the other side you can find a sort of metal plate. Take it, then go near the elevator and look behind for the woman. You can exchange the flask for some meat.
Time to go back to the upper city, so take the elevator, then to Thanandar. When you enter the room, save the game, then enter the room where Thanandar is, and talk to him. Kill him and the zombie guard.
Look on the table for the pitcher. On the body of Thanandar you will find a red key.
Go out, upstairs and into the temple. Enter the open door, and use the key in the slot under the crystal.
You have found the crypt. Go down and touch the light.
When you come out from there use the key under the crystal again.
When you arrive, go straight on. There is a place where you can save your game at the bottom of some junk. Then enter the door, cross the metal bridge and speak with the woman.
Enter the bar and look at the show.
Then enter the door and speak with Delia.
When she asks for a present, give her the disk (mirror), and speak more with her.
Go out and look on the table for the flask.
Speak with the man at the bar.
Pass the door and save the game. Pass the other door and go right. You will come to a boat; enter it.
Now it’s time to meet Armal and play yang. After speaking with Armal, give him a weapon and start the game.
The trick of this game is to occupy the angle square, but it’s not easy; the computer plays really well. When you play, try to look more to the diagonal row, and close every move of the computer. If you win you will get information.
Go outside, cross the bridge and then turn right. Jump into the water and enter the sewer.
Kill the two guards, and at the end go upstairs and save the game.
Now things are going to be very hard.
Watch the movie. Kill the guard again.
Go on, kill the other 2 guards, then go left over the small bridge.
Kill the big guard and examine his body. Take the key and open the gate. You will find Zed.
Watch the movie, then fight Zed.
Go out and return to where the 2 guards were. If you look where all the barrels are, you will find a hilt.
Enter the door and you will meet Sordov, the boss. Kill him, examine the body, and use the key on the box. You will find the pact between Dorkhan, Sordov and Thanandar. On a barrel you will find some meat.
Tip: It’s not easy to kill all these people, especially Zed and Sordov, so after a fight you can return to the save point and go to town for some food if you need energy.
After all, go outside the sewer and return to uptown.
Go into the Guardians' building and go directly to Dorkan’s room.
Speak with Phedoria at the entrance and give her the document found in the sewers. Go inside after that.
Dorkhan has escaped. Look on the table. You will find a small dagger and a flask.
Use the small dagger in the slot in the wall near the secret door.
Go in and then down. Follow the way until you arrive at the lower city.
Go to the place where you can enter the sewers or go to the boat of Armal. Go the upper one.
Kill the scum who is fighting with Kalhi.
Look at the door with a slot.
Now go to the upper city. When you’re there, go to the temple and where the crystal is. You will meet Thanandar.
Go down the crypt and watch the death of Arkhan's father.
Now go up and speak with Lory, then follow her.
You will get the first piece of the crystal key.
After the chat with Lory, go outside the temple.
Watch the movie (really nice!!).
Then go to the tower of the constructors, the entrance next to the temple. Speak with the guard, kill him, then go up and speak with the 2 men. Get the project and ammo.
Go out and back into the lower town.
Go to the tower where you see the slot and the strange door.
Darkan is there. Fight him and examine the body.
Use the metallic key on the door slot and enter.
Look around. Near the door you will find a strange object.
Go out and up the nearest stairs.
Save your game. Go along the wall and at the end you will find 2 men fighting. Kill the black one.
Talk with the stranger and you will get a helmet.
Take the strange thing from before to Danrys. He will tell you to show it to Bandor. Show the other part of the key to him.
Now go up to town.
Again in the constructor tower, try to speak with them, but nothing happens. Take the project near the fire and use it on the fire. They will stop you, so now you know who the master constructor is. Speak with him, and when he wants proof give him the key Lory gave you.
Now go back again to the lower city, and again to Danrys. Show the second part of the key to him. Then go again into the sewers.
When you arrive at the save point, save your game and go down the stairs.
Near the stairs that go underwater, use the metallic combination and go down in the water.
Follow the way, kill the water creature and go up at the end. You’re in outworld.
Kill the 2 monsters, and turn around at the end of the path (around the rock; you have to enter the water a bit).
Enter the cave and go up to a river. Kill the water serpent. Beside it there are some green rocks. Use Denry's small axe on it.
Go up the stairs and talk with Leona. You will find out that if you drink the river water you will feel better.
Save your game, then go all the way back to Denrys. Show him the green rock. Now you have the key for the secret room of Arkhan’s father.
Go into the upper city and into Arkhan's father's room. Use the key in the slot.
Inside, take the paper and read the book. On the other desk look at the book. You will find some paintings and the key of the central well.
Go to the temple and go to speak to Lory. She is dead.
Go to the Guardian tower and up in the second floor.
Go outside where the prison door is. Enter the one on the left and go upstairs.
Speak with the man and try to smash him. Now he will speak. Give him the strange object you found in the room before.
Go out and return after a wail. He will ask you to rescue Delia, the dancer.
Go to the bar in the lower city, speak with her and she will follow you.
In the bar you will meet the first monster. Kill him.
Go again into the upper city, enter the guardian tower, and kill the monster again.
Now Delia meets his love and he will reward you with the fixed object.
Go to the center of the upper city to the well. Use the key on the well, and then use the object from before on it. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
Look at the screw. A piece is missing, so go down the stairs to Arkhan's father's room. At the base, you will find the missing piece. Use it on the screw, then go to aggressive mode and jump.
Watch the movie of the long fall. Now you’re more beast than man.
Go on your right, cross two doors. The second door now will turn. Now save your game, and let’s start a tricky part.
First remember the paper of Arkhan's father. Read it again, especially the part: Runka son of the sun comes from sun (stars) to help us from the threat of Shankar.
Look at the lever and rebuild this story, starting from the left lever.
Look at the picture symbols:
1) Runka
2) Sun (opposite of moon)
3) Protect
The right lever:
1) Opposite of the meteor
2) Opposite of protect
3) Shanka
Then pull the lever. Save your game again.
Now it’s up to you. You have to pass through the labyrinth. All I can say I keep to the right. Timing is everything. Avoid the blades.
At the end, load your gun and save the game.
Watch the movie. Then shoot Thanandar, and when he falls run to the portal. You cannot kill Thanandar, but after 4-5 shots he falls, and gave you the time to operate the door mechanism.
Look at the two levers, you can move them left or right. Move the left one time left; a light will appear. Go to the right lever and do the same. Do it until you have lighted each of the 3 lights in every door side.
During this time, when Thanandar gets up shoot him. At the end the door will open.
Final movie: That’s all folks.
I know that if you find a weapon project and you carry to Danrys he will make you a special gun.
You can produce you own ammo if you find some metal piece and use it on the machine in the central room, on the second floor of guardian tower. And you will often find the yellow piece of the ammo in the lower floor of the oil master.
I think that in most of the case in which I kill the guard using a different approach can do the same (so you don’t have to kill.)
